In 2019, enterprise security will be all about the data: where it is, who has access to it and who is protecting it.

For Steve Durbin, the managing director of the non-profit Information Security Forum (ISF) that focuses on data and how best to protect it, 2019 will mark a return to a more traditional approach to InfoSec, with less emphasis on the cyber attack of the day.

“For me, 2019 is all about information security really coming back on trend,” Durbin told Security Now in an interview before the organization released its list of the top security trends for 2019. “We have talked a lot about cyber, but for me [2019] is more about traditional information security. It’s about data and how that data can be shared, potentially compromised, and I think that is the overarch. It’s all about digital data and the implications of that.”
